Philadelphia Diners
Philadelphia has a variety of dining options, from casual to fine dining, representing almost every type of cuisine imaginable. But, for the quintessential American dining experience, nothing beats a diner.
Philadelphia has a number of authentic diners from which to choose. Each diner has its own unique local flavor and character and attracts neighborhood ??regulars? along with visitors looking for a tasty meal or cup of coffee. Almost all are open 24-hours-a-day, with most serving breakfast around the clock (including scrapple, a local food similar to sausage), typical American fare such as hamburgers, tuna melts, creamed chipped beef on toast, and, for dessert, an array of homemade pies.
Another popular place is the Down Home Diner, located in the Reading Terminal Market, with its jukebox and counter service. The Down Home Diner specializes in creative home-style cooking with a Southern flavor and uses fresh ingredients from the market.
Other diners in or around Center City include the South Street Diner, Philly Diner, Morning Glory Diner, Oregon Diner, and the Penrose Diner.
